About Virginie

Virginie Sussest offers a warm, person-focused way of working that puts relationships and emotional safety at the centre. She uses simple, practical conversations to help people untangle stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people find clearer ways forward.

She draws on more than 11 years of professional experience, including a long period supporting people through bereavement and loss. That work shaped how she listens for what matters most to each person and how she stays with difficult emotions without rushing them.

Background and approach

She adapts sessions to each person's needs rather than following a fixed script. Her practice brings together attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening with cognitive techniques and solution-focused tasks. This mix helps when people need both deeper understanding and practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Conversations can cover grief, trauma, addictions, parenting strain, work stress, or identity and intimacy concerns. Sessions are offered in English, French and Italian. Virginie works in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She does not accept international clients at this time. Therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Practical matters such as cost vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In sessions this looks like gentle exploration of important relationships and patterns, helping people understand why they react as they do and how to build more supported ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy emphasises empathic listening and acceptance. The counsellor follows the person's pace, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions rather than giving direct advice. Cognitive behavioural techniques add simple tasks and thought exercises when someone wants tools to manage anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is done together, and the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the counsellor and client use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection or want to fit sessions into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and adapt therapy to real life.
